About Fadi
Biography
This area of law requires much outside-the-box thinking and therefore each case has its own set of challenges that must be looked at from all angles. It is therefore always thought-provoking, and with that, this field of law remains interesting. Many times it also encompasses different areas of law so there is definitely never any monotony as there are never two cases exactly alike! Ultimately, I find that helping corporations and individuals achieve their objectives is intrinsically rewarding.

TN Visa Success
Fadi was fantastic! He answered my many questions promptly and with unending patience. Fadi worked within my time constraints and with an employer who was not particularly easy to work with. I felt confident submitting my application for my visa at customs after our meeting.
